Make sure you mask all bearing surfaces and tapped holes. The powder coat is a bugger to remove afterwards if you don't. Also ensure the caot is properly removed from eathing points during re-build, otherwise you'll be looking at a heap of electrical gremlins later on.
Another tip for those re-painting injected tanks...
The rubber rain seal on the top of the filler assembly is a total PITA to fit. I found the best way is to install the filler assembly in the tank first. This leaves a small gap around the top of the neck, which you can just about squeeze the seal under. The last bit's the hardest & fiary liquid helps - a bit like fitting a bicycle tyre on a rim.
It's also worth leaving the neck grub screws loose, until you offer up the cap. That way you can still twist neck in the tank slightly to align filler cap with top of tank.
